The Man I've Always Been Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
Honestly I've [D]been a couple people
No one that I'd want to
be again
I've dressed [G]up like a husband
[D]I've witnessed like a pre[A]acher
But maybe this is who [F#m]I've always been
[D]

[Verse 2]
[G]
I de[D]cided that I couldn't go [A]on pretending
[D]Couldn't face those fac[A]es
[D]or the sce[G]ne
Looking up with pleading [F#m]eyes
All of them so ter[Bm]rified[Em]
But none of them as terrified as me
[A]

[Verse 3]
[D]There's men that want to lead
you into [A]battle[D]
There's men that want to
[A]hold you down [D]in [A]bed[D]
When I fi[G]nally left Seattle
I was [F#m]haunted by the [Bm]needle
[Em]That city always held above
my head
[A]

[Verse 4]
[D]
Honestly I've been a couple people
But no one that i'd want
to [A]be again[D]
Been [G]a soldier and a priest
A [D]teacher and [A]a thief
Maybe this is who I've always been

[Verse 5]
[D]The [G]guy who's trying not to cry[D]
In the supermarket aisle.
[Bm]Confused why there's so
many types of juice
[D]

[Verse 6]
[G]The guy who's trying not
to [Bm]cry
Overwhelmed and [Em]overtired

[Verse 7]
Lately it's just hard for me to choose
[A]I k[D]now I chose to bring you [A]to the altar[D]
I know I chose the place to build our church
But [G]the parts that I was sure about
[F#m]Were weakened by
the debt [Bm]and d[Em]oubt
The weakness turned to something
even worse
[A]

[Verse 8]
[D]
Honestly I've been a couple people
But no one that I'd want to be again
[G]Disguises, masks and[D] uniforms
None of them felt fully [A]formed
This is probably who I've always been

[Verse 9]
[D]I've [G]done a lot of different things
[D]Said our vows gave you a rin[A]g
This is probably who I've always [G]been
This is probably [A]who I've always been

[Outro 1]
[D]
